The Actor(2025)
An unforgettable cinematic odyssey.
Synopsis
Paul Cole finds himself stranded in a mysterious small town with no memory of who he is or how he got here. As bits and pieces of his past slowly emerge, he attempts to find his way home, but time is slippery, appearances can't be trusted, and it's unclear which of his identities is real.
Directed by Duke Johnson
